Remember, you asked for it.

First off, here's the horror shorts I was talking about.
Killing Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2q9CO8qBrE
This took best Louisiana Thriller in the Fear Fete International Horror Film Festival

Project Z (teaser) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhfdMolJszc
This took best Louisiana Zombie in the Fear Fete International Horror Film Festival
I am not at all happy with the lighting in the hospital scenes, but we learn and improve.

----------
Then there is The Quest. This is the uplifting question series I was talking about. (We had some issues with lighting, but our ND filters and linear pola have fixed that... now I just need to get a couple low contrasts and we'll be set)

Here is my vlog... it's... just me... had to get a lower end camera because my dslr makes it hard to focus and record myself, and more episodes coming soon.

I dont think that a society governed by computers is a good idea..
A single programming bug can possibly cause a lot of trouble.
Remember, computers are programmed by people so a perfectly just and neutral AI is hard to come by.
On the other side, there is some progress in self learning AI's.
The question,is folks willing to be the subject of a self learning AI that can make grave mistakes ?

The movie, I, Robot is an example of why this is a bad idea... As is the Terminator series

Aspergia's communication would be primarily written, either by penmanship or by (most often) email, instant messaging, and other things. Social interaction would be performed from a safe distance. The houses would be low stimulating, with very few to none at all noise, light, or anything distracting from our work. (This is what I'd like to see the most in Aspergia.) We will practice and teach tolerance of those who's minds are neurologically different, and any acts of intolerance would be considered hate crimes. Schooling will mostly be done at home; the practice of online schooling and unschooling will be the main methods of learning.

I definitely agree with hate crimes part. As we seem to share common genetics it is a form of racism to hate on us as we are apparently the neanderthal race.

I also have to ask though... if we are going to have a society of us, why not learn at a common location? With no intolerance and people who understand that we are different and shouldn't be judged as neurotypicals, I feel that community would be far less frightening, even for those of us who have it bad.

They are just movies though, in time we will see self programming computers that are capable of making better decisions than we are. We will essentially write a program that will write its own program within the parameters we give it and we will check and test it until it is a solid decision making machine.

Alternatively, we could allow individuals the choice of the human ruling or computer ruling in legal disputes.

Oh and I will definitely watch your vids, but I'm a bit busy at the moment.

Personally, I think that the idea of machines making machines and programming machines is a mistake... and Yes, those are just movies... but as someone who programs machines... Let me tell you... code interactions constantly surprise you...

It's inevitable that we allow machines to take over our "toil," there will be problems, but we'll work them out.

1. The capital would be called Asburg.
2. The high prince would be called the Asperger.
3. Because there is no other way for anyone to start speaking Lojban, all legal business must be done in Lojban and it's a mandatory subject in school. Just for the lulz.

That's all I really care about.

Autism will dominated the world later as the event of the new human revolution.so it's be wise if we can reform many aspect of the old culture :

-there shall be no isolation and bullying in the school
-there shall be no marginalization toward disability peoples (money,power,education,job,business and love as well as sex :lol: )
-prioritizing of narrow interest rather than mix interest in education system
-provide jobs for people with autism both high function and low function
-provide a comfort shelter and home without neighborhood annoyance for aspie
-provide individual freedom for asperger
-high function autist should rule the bureaucracy
-etc

One could argue that everyone is put in a position that they are most capable of. That is a meritochracy by definition and the problem with that is... who decides?
